• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LR334 - Do not enter a sender cost center when entering statistical key figures ?

  The SAP error message LR334 ("Do not enter a sender cost center when entering statistical key figures") typically occurs when you are trying to enter statistical key figures in a cost center accounting (CCA) transaction, but you have also specified a sender cost center. In SAP, statistical key figures are used for planning and reporting purposes and do not require a sender cost center.
  Cause:
  The error arises because:
  
  Statistical key figures are meant to be used for reporting and analysis, and they do not have a direct impact on cost allocations.
  The system is designed to prevent the entry of a sender cost center when dealing with statistical key figures, as it does not make sense to allocate costs or revenues to a statistical key figure.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should:
  
  Remove the Sender Cost Center: When entering statistical key figures, ensure that you do not specify a sender cost center. Simply leave that field blank.
  Check the Transaction: Make sure you are in the correct transaction for entering statistical key figures. If you are in a transaction meant for actual cost postings, switch to the appropriate transaction for statistical key figures.
  Review Input Data: Double-check the data you are entering to ensure that it aligns with the requirements for statistical key figures.
